Google Voice to Get Enhanced Even More

That includes building features that users can access the same way across
all their phones, which has been a challenge with so many disparate phone
makers and telecommunications carriers.
Expect Google Voice for the enterprise, as well. Bradley Horowitz, vice
president of product management at Google, told eWEEK last December Google Voice is coming as a product
within Google Apps.

Indeed, Google acquired GIPS Technologies, which makes software for processing
high-definition audio and video over the Web. Google could conceivably use the
GIPS technology with Google Voice to offer enterprise VOIP.

When these solutions, along with the rumor that his team was building a
desktop application for Google Voice, were suggested to Paquet, he declined to
comment. "We keep testing things, and some make it and some don't."
The next level of efficiency might be to integrate Google Voice with
specific Google Apps beyond just Gmail. For example, Google could integrate
Google Voice with Google Talk to place audio calls, though it is unclear how
Gizmo5 would fit in here.
Google could also integrate Google Voice with Google Calendar and provide
users with notifications to their phones when an appointment is coming up.

Google Voice integration with Google Docs could send Voice notifications to
Docs users' smartphones when a document or presentation had been altered.
Looking outside the realm of Google Apps, Google could also integrate Google
Voice with popular social services, such as Facebook and Twitter. Paquet did
not comment on whether such plans were in the mix, but he appreciated the
suggestions.
Noting that the Google Voice team builds most of its features based on user
feedback, Paquet encouraged users to tell him what they would like to see in
the app. Readers are welcome to leave suggestions in the comments section. They
will be passed along to Paquet.
